Hevilift pilot in PNG kidnapped - Sunday 25th Feb 2024

News is filtering through that a Hevilft employed pilot has been kidnapped in PNG and the land owners are demanding K5,000,000 for his release

Apparently the team was refuelling a generator attached to a mobile phone tower at the time.

Waiting for confirmation from a more reliable source than EMTV
